Investigation of inter-valley scattering and hot phonon dynamics in GaAs quantum wells using femtosecond luminescence intensity correlation

Photoluminescence intensity correlation measurements of GaAs quantum wells using 120 fs laser pulses show relatively slow relaxation times ≤ 10 ps at high energy close to the L valley conduction band minimum. This value is consistent with recent measurements of the L → Γ scattering time. However, th...
